hey u guys,

i had my bday last week and my girlfriend surprised me with tix to go see hinder in ottawa in a couple weeks. i fuckin hate hinder so much that i just wanna punch things when somebody says their name. i think when i told my girl i want to rok it out at scotiabank on mar 10th she thought i meant with hinder! terrible mistake i know.

i know what u guys r thinking - they're opening fer motlee crue which is cool cuz i'd like to see those guys... even though they're old as dirt. problem is my girlfriend is kind of cheap so she got these discount tix that r only for the opener - so we have to leave our seats as soon as hinder is done!

how do i get out of this w/o hurting her feelins? she's carrying my unborn son so i don't want to mess things up or anything. pleez help guys!

Listen SIZZLA! This is a real tough question. In all matters of the heart I would say honesty is the best policy. You're going to have to tell her that you are not a douche, and as a result you don't like Hinder. If you just go through with it and pretend everything is ok, you're probably going to get a hinder t-shirt for your birthday, then a hinder bandana for Easter, and finally the full Hinder 3 piece bedroom set for Christmas. Once a lady thinks she's found something you like, she will keep going back to the trough.

Trust me, I once said I liked penne, and now it's worked into every meal. Have you ever had penne hamburgers? It's too late for me, not too late for you.

Oh Terry, you've got yourself quite the little problem here. This question is perfect for this website because not only is this a rock n' roll question but it is also a relationship question. Both are our speciality.

This reminds me of a while back when our drummer Chris came up to me and asked me if I bought the new John Legend album. I looked at him both with a quizzical and sad face. He caught himself about halfway through the question. His embarrassment was obvious. He had inadvertently ruined our friendship. All I could do was to place my hand on his shoulder and shake my head. He has tried to win back my friendship by saying that he listens to Sir Lord Baltimore but I've seen the Alicia Keys CD's in his car. We are cordial in our interactions now but that original spark is gone forever.

The lesson here is that relationships and rock n' roll should be kept secret. For the love of your new born baby, fake loving Hinder.
